Stepanov v. Journalism Development Network

Stepanov v. Journalism Development Network  (June 12, 2013)

Md. Cir.: Court Dismisses Libel Claim Over Money Laundering Articles
The court held that a series of articles about international money laundering schemes were not defamatory of plaintiffs, a former Russian diplomat and an offshore corporate registration company. Taken as a whole, the articles could not reasonably be read to infer that plaintiffs knowingly engaged in criminal activity.
